THIS is how you do dating humor

Geared primarily towards single urban women but enjoyable to almost everyone who's ever dated, this (alleged) guide to morning-after etiquette provides just the right mixture of "been there done that" and "you did NOT just go there" that sums up the raunch and cringeworthiness of the messier side of the singles life. The freewheeling style of the two authors -- one female, one male -- lurches wildly from comforting to analytical to lecherous to just plain bizarre and back, while matter-of-factly confronting issues that society tends to prefer to gloss over in the name of propriety, while taking digs at college life, alcohol, sexual harrassment, and trashy celebrities. As insightful, sex-positive, and gratuitously explicit as it is tasteless, misandrist, misogynist, and all-around misanthropic, TWoSSG works for the same reason EMT and other gallows humor works -- it allows people to laugh at bizarre and stressful situations that otherwise would be disturbing or demoralizing. You'll definitely want to keep it away from the kids though -- the vivid pink cover was probably not the best choice of colors, and they won't appreciate it anyway until they're old enough to date themselves.
